8. Applied Medical Anthropology Students take a qualifying exam in medical anthropology, applied anthropology, and biocultural theory at the end of the second semester. Format will be takehome, open-book http://wings.buffalo.edu/anthropology/Faculty/mcelroy/ApplMedAnthro.htm

APPLIED MEDICAL ANTHROPOLOGY Department of Anthropology University at Buffalo Description The Applied Medical Anthropology concentration offers a Master's in Anthropology degree for students interested in using anthropological theory and methods in research on regional, national, and international health problems. Through small seminars, field placements, and mentoring, the program emphasizes experiential, hands-on training as well as academic preparation for research and service careers in community and international health. The applied specialization is part of the program in Medical Anthropology at SUNY Buffalo. The difference between the doctoral program and the M.A. track is that the Master's students specialize more quickly than do most graduate students, preparing for a first-year qualifying exam in applied medical anthropology rather than in cultural or physical anthropology and beginning a major research project by the third semester. After completion of the M.A. degree, usually in the second year, graduates are encouraged to pursue various career goals. Employment may be sought through community agencies, research centers, and institutional grants and projects. Continued training at the University at Buffalo or elsewhere toward an M.PH. (Master's of Public Health), an M.S. in Epidemiology, a certificate program in Environmental Health, and similar opportunities will lead to research positions and administrative employment. Those planning on clinical careers may apply to schools of medicine, dentistry, social work, and other health professions. Students who decide to pursue a Ph.D. in medical anthropology may apply for continued study in the UB Anthropology department or at other institutions.

Applied anthropology uses the theories, methods, and ethnographic findings of anthropology to solve human problems. Applied anthropology at CSULB focuses on practicing anthropology in three program options. These are: communities/organizations, health, and education. Where Do Practicing and Applied Anthropologists Work? Today, most applied anthropologists are practitioners who use cross-cultural knowledge and anthropological methods for research and action around the world, not only from a university base. Practicing anthropologists are found in all business, government, health, education, and human services domains. They may work for congresswomen, in hospitals, school districts, research and consulting firms, or state and local governments. They are often researchers but more and more, they don't just study problems. These anthropologists are often administrators, program directors, and even business owners. They craft and manage solutions. What Do Applied and Practicing Anthropologists Do?

Cultural Anthropology Resources Welcome to studyanthropology.org What is anthropology? Breaking down the word anthropology, its origins are from the Greek word anthropos "human" and logia "study." Anthropology itself is the holistic study of humanity. Where other academic disciplines may have taken a narrow stance on an issue anthropology chooses to incorporate anything and everything it is to be human with the ultimate goal of defining who we are, how we came to be and where we are going. In essence we all practice anthropology every day because of its fundamental ground of curiosity. We are curious about ourselves and curious about others. The Types Of Anthropology Post-Modern Anthropology is subdivided into 5 distinct categories: Applied Anthropology Archaeology Biological Anthropology Cultural Anthropology ... Read more... Theory Of Anthropology A theory is a systematic organization of ideas proposed to explain a phenomenon. In other words a theory is simply a speculation, which at the time cannot be proven and is used as a means to explain an event, trend, or other occurrences.

SUBDISCIPLINES: APPLIED ANTHROPOLOGY Applied Anthropology Ann M. Reed * Posted May 1998 (click these links to travel through the document) HISTORY THE FUTURE ORGANIZATIONS REFERENCES ... WEB LINKS Definitions History SOPA, the Society of Professional Anthropologists, was established in Tucson, Arizona as the first local practitioner organization (LPO) in 1974 (van Willigen 1993:35; Fiske and Chambers 1997: 285). Though SOPA disbanded within a decade, it served as the model for many other regional organizations, such as the Washington Association of Practicing Anthropologists (in D.C.)and the High Plains Society for Applied Anthropology (in Boulder, CO.), which serve as "grassroots" organizations providing members with a forum to share common concerns, to establish identity, and to network with other professionals. Roughly a dozen LPOs are currently operating in the U.S. (Fiske and Chambers 1997: 285). In 1983, the National Association for the Practice of Anthropology (NAPA) was founded specifically to address the interests of practitioners and advance the professionalization of anthropologists. (Fiske and Chambers 1997: 286). Though both SfAA and NAPA have tried to represent the interests of all the sub-fields of anthropology, both organizations are dominated by cultural anthropologists and their interests (Fiske and Chambers 1997: 286). Archaeologists have formed their own organizations, such as the Society of Professional Archaeologists (SOPA). Career Opportunities / Employment There are numerous examples of how each subfield is represented in applied employment. Archaeologists are found working for the National Park Service (with forest, fisheries, and parks) and in cultural resource management. Some forensic anthropologists rely on techniques of physical anthropology to assist in medical / legal cases. Linguistic anthropologists may design bilingual education programs. Medical anthropologists might be interested in how culture affects the way people seek health care. Sociocultural anthropologists could be focused domestically, on corporate work culture and the relationship between productivity and management policy, or internationally; studying the impact non-military foreign aid has on local communities (Eddy and Partridge 1987: 49).

19. Applied Anthropology Essay We'll spend the semester discussing what defines applied anthropology, and we're going to find that there are quite a few different visions for what makes any anthropological http://www.iupui.edu/~anthpm/appliedessay.html

As part of this paper, you must discuss how you anticipate using your anthropological training and how this is (or perhaps is not) applied. Be as specific as you can be about how you plan to use anthropological training in the working world: for example, if I was an employer and I asked you why you chose anthropology as an appropriate way to train for the sort of work you're pursuing, what would you say? How would you explain to a prospective employer that anthropology provides distinctive preparation for a wide range of labors? If you are in the course as preparation to simply understand cultural difference and not be an anthropologist per se there's nothing wrong with that, then what is it about anthropology that you believe provides you distinctive skills, training, and insight not common to many of academic disciplines? Good papers will use examples from readings we've done through October, outside applied resources you find, and the course lectures, so include them in your paper. These are questions people have been wrestling with for a while, so consider looking over one of the many sources that examine the issue of defining applied anthropology. For instance, visit the
